Babolat AeroPro Racquet Playtest

***The sign-up for this playtest is now CLOSED. We have all the playtesters we need. An email will be sent out by Thursday, November 15th to all who were selected. Thank you.***

Attention Talk Tennis Members:

We will be sending out a very limited number of AeroPro Drive and AeroPro Lite racquets for a playtest. This playtest is only for U.S.A Talk Tennis members.

**Please indicate if you want it strung with a Babolat XCel or RPM Blast. We are not taking tension requests, nor are we taking requests for which racquet you will receive. Also, we cannot accept requests that do not include all the information listed above**

We select playtesters based on a number of factors, including past performance on playtests. Due to the very limited number of samples, we will not be able satisfy the large majority of requests. It is absolutely essential that everyone who receives a racquet posts a review and then returns the frame.

This playtest is FREE of charge. The only thing that we ask of you is to post your findings in this thread. Your review is due on December 14, 2012. We ask you return the racquet by December 20, 2012. Failure to do so will result in being charged in full for the racquet as well as being excluded from future playtests. If you do not post a review, or if your review is clearly lacking effort, you will be excluded from future playtests.

Please use the following to write your review:

Tennis experience/background:
Describe your playing style (i.e. serve & volley):
Current racquet/string:
Racquet model tested:
How many hours did you play with the racquet?

What happens if the racquet breaks (on a mishit overhead)?? I have heard these racquets break easily.

If it truly breaks on accident, there is nothing you can do and just send it back. However, we are definitely able to tell when a racquet is broken on accident or on purpose (all of us have broken a racquet or two in our life time shhhh!).

The tension will be what we string our demos at. If the playtester selects XCel, the racquet will be strung at mid +2 lbs. If the playtester selects RPM Blast, the racquet will be strung at mid -2 lbs.

If it truly breaks on accident, there is nothing you can do and just send it back. However, we are definitely able to tell when a racquet is broken on accident or on purpose (all of us have broken a racquet or two in our life time shhhh!).

I forwarded your request to Chris and Spencer. We will have to wait and see what they have to say.

The sign-up for this playtest is now CLOSED. We have had an abundance of willing participants and look forward to hearing all your responses. An email will be sent out by Thursday, November 15th to all who were selected with the playtest racquet following a week later. Thank you.
